For over a century, scientists have thought of time as a fundamental property of the universe. But the more researchers seek ...

The CDF Collaboration at Fermilab has confirmed that a subatomic particle called the Bs meson flips between matter and antimatter about 3 trillion times per second, a measurement so precise it ...

Researchers attempting to solve the problem of dark matter have proposed a particle that can travel to an unseen fifth dimension. The work is entirely hypothetical, as it attempts to explain a type of ...

Imagine waking up one morning with an extraordinary new ability: the power to see the fourth dimension. At first, it might ...

The Standard Model of our universe doesn’t match the evidence, in part because of dark energy, a ghostly force pushing the universe apart. Now some researchers think our universe might be moving into ...

String theory found its origins in an attempt to understand the nascent experiments revealing the strong nuclear force. Eventually another theory, one based on particles called quarks and force ...

It has been known that nanoparticles, for example, exhibit quite different properties from the bulk samples of the same materials. Yet nobody knows why. Ehime University researchers discovered a ...

We tend not to dwell on the fact that we exist in three dimensions. Forwards-back, left-right, up-down; these are the axes on which we navigate the world. When we try to imagine something else, it ...

What would the universe be like if it had four spatial dimensions instead of three? Experimentalists are starting to explore the physics of higher dimensions with the help of recently developed tricks ...
